this makes no sense, so to beat Pavlik you need to come in for the attack? where did you get that formula cause thats not how Bhop beat him. If Floyd can tie up with Pavlik without getting outmuscled off, this fight is very winnable for Floyd.
Pavlik/Williams is only 50/50 if you're brain dead. Williams has about a 25% chance of answering the bell for the 10th round, IF he fights a really smart fight. If he does that, he'll be the first guy who ever did that at 160, and one of only 3 guys who did that at any weight. I can see floyd hiding in the corner with his shoulder pulled up over his face, and Pavlik drives his clavical out through his eyeball. Ya, pbf is gonna fight pavlik, right. He won't even face Shane, Cotto, or Margarito. Stupid thread.
I always knew he would beat Jermain Taylor back when Taylor was MW Champ. I also thought he could beat Pavlik pre-Hopkins. Post Hopkins, I know Floy would win. Too elusive and quick. He should move up at the end oh his career and beat whoever the MW champ is. Legacy ****...
Floyd is not big and strong like Hop so that goes out the window right away. Floyd is too small to tie up Pavlik so that too goes out the window. Your have not shown anything to say he can beat a big, strong heavy hitter like Pavlik. Pavlik would knock the **** out of lil Floyd. Pavlik would have no respect for Floyd's power and would just walk him down and eventually catch him. Even arm punches would have an effect on Floyd late in the fight. Floyd wont even fight dudes in his own division what makes you think he would even look at Pavlik.
I would agree Floyd's philly shell will be very ineffective trying to hold off Pavlik's shots, but if PBF is really motivated for this win I dont see him standing in one spot very long, his footwork can beat Pavlik alone. Pavlik cant cut the ring off as good as you may think he can.
The post fight high of last night fight of Floyd beating a light in the ass blown up fighter has really clouded your minds. Now Floyd can beat Pavlik lol
If Pavlik starts connecting it's ovah! You know I really wondered who'd win out of Jermaine Taylor-Mayweather after Taylor struggled with Cory Spinks.
If Pavlik gets the side of the coin this december, Roger Mayweather doesnt get prison time, and both continue to win especially Floyd, I can imagine this fight being talked about for 2011.
Ima huge Mayweather fan...But im looking at the poll right now,and the fact dat Mayweather is ahead of Pavlik is ridicoulus!!! Mayweather will lose to anybody at 160,That is not his weight!!! And u people saying that he can beat a huge middleweight thats a Knockout artist as well??? I have 2 admit IT now...what everybodys been saying ...Ive been denying it but im no longer going to deny any more "PBF is def a bit overrated on ESB" and Something tells me if this poll was made around the time after Kelly Pavlik destroyed Gary Lockett...nobody wouldent even dare vote for Floyd To me I feel after B-hop destroyed Pavlik,everybody wants to quickly critisize him and say hes never was that good anyway and now anybody can beat Kelly Kelly would destroy PBF
Never happens. Pavlik will fight Bute after Williams, and then the SMW tournament winner. (Provided of course that beats Lucian.) Let floyd actually fight a top welter before he even looks at 160.
KP vs PBF isn't far fetched at al when KP KNocks PW block off in under 5 this might be pitched. To PBF kinda like After HAgler Smashed Hearns. This fight could be a possiblity. now weather PBF can win is another stroy. thing you have to think about is how long can PBF stay away from KP and if he goes to the rope when have you ever seen KP Smother his punches ?
Disagree with the bold. I think PBF would have a very good chance against Sturm. Against Pavlik there's just to much difference in size, strength, power, et.
